Thirty-two, the appearance of salt merchants
Xue Pan is very humble, to the door of the hanging flowers to greet everyone, this time there are a lot of people, not good one by one, so please go to Baoshan Lou to drink tea, here is Jia Yu Village hospitality, he was originally a person with eight faces, don't worry about etiquette. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
One spread ten to hundred, people who didn't know about it, heard that Xue Pan opened the door to accept guests, and also rushed to come, but it was only half an hour, the mountain building was stuffed, the mountain building was originally very spacious, but here came more than 100 people, it was very crowded, Xue Pan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and asked some people to rest somewhere else, these people saw Xue Pan for the first time, refused to live elsewhere like this, joking, if you leave at this time, in case these people have reached any agreement with Xue Pan in private, put yourself aside, If these people get it, the rest of the people will be less, and this lack is the root of life.
Therefore, even if it is very crowded, there are a few fat people who are hot and sweaty, but they still refuse to go out, and the building of the seven rooms of the Baoshan Building is not blocked in the middle, but this full of more than 100 people is also crowded, very lively, Xue Pan smiled bitterly, I didn't expect that his charm was so big, and there were so many people cheering.
Fortunately, everything in the garden is fully prepared, but it is not a problem that everyone who comes has no tea to drink, Xue Pan waited until everyone sat down, got up and made a gesture, and said, "You great sages are here today, and the hospitality is not good, only a cup of tea, sins and sins." ”
The person from the Tang family is the third brother of the Tang family, Tang Yisong, known as "today's Tang Bohu", he is a white and chubby middle-aged fat man, waving a Tang Bohu's real "Spring Tree and Autumn Frost" folding fan in his hand, hearing Xue Pan speak like this, he was the first to open his mouth and said: "How polite is Lord Xue, the big guy can be given a cup of tea in this extremely elegant place, and he has forgotten the mundane things outside, it can be seen that Lord Xue's tea is not the tea of the world, but the tea of the pure heart, there is this cup of tea, I'm afraid I won't smell meat for three months. ”
The other businessmen present couldn't help but scold Tang San for being too shameless, what he said was that this cup of tea made you not smell meat for three months, or was it because the salt was cut that you couldn't afford to eat tea in the future? Some people just sneered slightly, but some people couldn't help but speak, "What the third master said, but it's not right, Lord Xue lives here, it is naturally very elegant, but this garden is the place of your Tang family, your Tang family is poor in salt, what is elegant?" and we are all laymen, if you want me to say, you might as well ask for sin, lest the smell of copper smoke our Lord Xue. ”
Tang Yisong laughed, but he was not angry, he shook his head and said, "This was originally my Tang family's place, which is naturally very cheesy, but I dedicated this garden to Lord Xue a few days ago, and now it is Lord Xue's garden, so how can it be cheesy." ”
Hearing Tang Yisong say this, the room was in an uproar, "What a Tang Laosan!" Someone said coldly, "Actually close to the water and the building got the moon first, relying on such a thing to secretly give us this time!" ”
There are also people who say hello to Xue Pan, "Lord Xue doesn't need to look at his this, my garden is also excellent, several times larger than a garden, although the bamboo is not bad, but in the end the same scenery all year round, here in Yangzhou, the most famous flower is Qionghua, the garden of the disdainful family, Qionghua is the best, and much more than this garden, the garden is narrow, not worthy of the identity of Lord Xue, if the adult does not dislike, the Qionghua of He Garden, only belongs to the adult to play. ”
The rest of them couldn't get used to the arrogance of the Tang family, and some of them coaxed the Tang family, and they applauded one after another: "It's very true, Brother He's He Garden, when the Qiong flowers bloom, it is really a sea of fragrant snow, very moving, much better than this bamboo!" ”
The He family is one of the eight heavenly kings, and it is only slightly inferior to the Tang family, so naturally there is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that this is the time when the salt industry of the two Huai is reshuffled, if the He family takes the lead and squeezes the Tang family out of the first-class salt merchants of the Four King Kongs, then the Tang family will be nothing in the future.
Tang San's fat man couldn't help but stiffen his face, these damn things, what identity dare to shout in front of him, if it was before, it would be over if he was killed directly, but now he wants to change the Yan Yin, but it is not good to be so arrogant and domineering, I don't know what kind of temperament this young official in front of him is, if it is the kind of jealous and hateful, upright young man Bao Qingtian type of person, it is not easy to do, so Tang San Fat Man just glanced at the big guy coldly, but he didn't match it, but let the big guy fall into a void.
The big guys flattered Xue Pan one after another, there was an old man sitting on the top of Tang San's fat man, coughed, and the discussion in the hall suddenly became smaller, the old man was wearing a blue ice silk robe, this ice silk is not too good material, but it is a silk cloth specially used by the king of Goryeo, and idle people can't buy it if they want to buy it with silver, this old man has a goatee, easy-going, and looks very gentle and amiable, but just coughing like this, in the flower hall, there is suddenly a lot less sound, Xue Pan's heart couldn't help but feel a slight pang, looking at the momentum and the number of seats, he knew that this person must be the Liu family, the head of the four King Kongs of Yangzhou salt merchants.
Li Rubang has been on an errand in Yangzhou for a long time, Qi Dazhuang has worked with Xue Pan's grandfather in the past, although the Xue family has no power in Yangzhou, but the situation here is also very clear, the Liu family, the head of the four King Kongs, has a very amazing background, and the idle princes and uncles dare not provoke them, why is this so? It's all because the Liu family is from the same village as Taizu.
Taizu's childhood family was quite wealthy, it was a farming family, but to Taizu's father's generation, the family was in the middle, the family was very poor, Taizu's father died early, fortunately, there were neighbors Liu family ancestors kind-hearted, and felt that Taizu was pitiful, repeatedly relieved, after Taizu became the former vassal king, divided one side, when the army rebelled, even affected these people in the same village, all of them were killed by the previous dynasty mourning sect, the Liu family was all killed, leaving only one heir who was studying outside, he defected to Taizu, Taizu was broken, after sweeping the world, Ask what kind of reward the young man of the Liu family wants, the scholar of the Liu family only seeks "prosperity for generations" and does not seek "prince ten thousand years", so Taizu introduced the first salt of the two Huai to the Liu family, the Liu family has taken root in Yangzhou for so many years, and has developed through this, there is Taizu in the same village, and in the past there was such a relationship with Taizu who had the grace of support, even if it was a salt envoy, it was not good to offend the Liu family at will, which was enough to be called the first salt merchant.
